Susan Ragan is a former Associated Press photographer who now shoots commercially from her home in Sheridan, Oregon. She has a 25-acre farm with myriad animals, including several dairy goats and a new Andalusian filly.
Among her goats is the lovely Emma, shown here. Emma came from the livestock auction in Woodburn, Oregon, as Susan tells us:
“She’s just about a year old now. In that picture she was about three or four months. She’s not as tame as my other goats because she was started on a goat farm and probably wasn’t handled much until she was traumatized at auction.
“Just now, a year later, can I just pet her without her zooming off. She’s my prettiest goat and will probably always be. I think she’s extremely beautiful.”

Nubians…my favorite. And I agree, Emma is a beauty. I love how the young kids are all ears. There is nothing like a sweet nubian face!
Emma is indeed a beauty. I like the nubians and the La Manchas quite a bit.
Emma is a beauty. Her owner is a professional photographer who knows how to frame her goats in the right light and settings to get the most from the photos.
